"Remarkable Dads and the community we're building is a key part of our continuing effort to celebrate fathers – and father figures – for the influence they have on our lives. Omaha Steaks believes that the banner of fatherhood brings men of all kinds together for the common goal of their families' well-being," said Todd Simon, Sr. Vice President and Family Owner. "As the Official Sponsor of Dads™, Omaha Steaks is proud to create a common space where dads from all walks of life can come together."

RemarkableDads.com (https://remarkabledads.com) will be sponsored by Omaha Steaks, but Simon said the site will feature content about dads from all walks of life from a variety of guest dad bloggers and partner brands including Weber® Grills, as well as user-generated content. The site will also serve as the hub for social activations and contests – starting with "Remarkable Dadness," a digital tournament where participants will nominate and vote for the Most Remarkable Dad in America.

Dads who are nominated (or who nominate themselves) for Remarkable Dadness, will have the chance to win prizes ranging from Omaha Steaks T-Bones to the Weber^® Q^® 1200^TM gas grills in color. The grand prize winner will win Omaha Steaks for a year and a Weber^® Original Kettle^TM charcoal grill. Remarkable Dadness dad entrants will advance and win prizes throughout the month of March and early April, at the same time people across the country are enjoying the college men's basketball tournament.

Simon added that Remarkable Dads will continue to grow. "We look forward to the community growing and changing every day," he said, "as both dads and the people who love them share their stories and experiences." The Remarkable Dads community will also be represented in social channels. Look for it on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Google+ and Pinterest.
